AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An excellent specimen of ruby on matrix from Zazafosty quarry, Ihosy District, Madagascar, completely natural and of high mineralogical value.

The principal crystal, in an intense pink-red color, stands out clearly against the off-white gray matrix, and is accompanied by small satellite crystals of the same species.

The piece shows a strong red fluorescence when exposed to UV light, a characteristic typical of gem-quality corundum and particularly appreciated by collectors.

These characteristics add aesthetic and mineralogical value to the piece.

It is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the realm of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species.

All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, with very rare exceptions always noted in the description. Photographs are taken with professional lighting to best showcase colors and details; however, slight variations in shade may occur depending on the device or ambient light.

Shipping is carried out via reliable and carefully selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 working days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping and professional, secure packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also take place the day after payment depending on the destination.

You can accumulate multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, even from auctions with different end dates, simply by contacting us to organize the consolidation. For important pieces, direct delivery by appointment to your home or at major European fairs is also available.
